Recent Photos
- I visited my Cousin Ed Weil in Andover, MA in early October. We shot some photos there and in Rockport, and went to New Hampshire and Maine for the fall colors. I OD'd on lobster and lobster buoys. The colors were nice, but the weather was pretty dark and rainy, and even a bit of snow, so we cut our trip short. Nevertheless I got some interesting images.
Rust and Rubbish
- A lecture by the Canadian photographer Richard Martin inspired me to start photographing rusted junk cars. I believe that Ernst Haas was the first to see the possibilities in cars like these. So far, I have found cars near Santa Fe; on a workshop with Martin near Kingston ON; the Willard Car Farm near Garfield, WA, the Big M junkyard in Williams, CA, and the streets of Berkeley CA, Colfax WA, in Mexico, and near home. Some of them are of cars owned by a man called Fatdog, who has a guitar shop in Berkeley and, when he saw me shooting a truck in front of the shop, invited me to his ranch near Sonoma, CA. . I have also been photographing a large number of unconventional subjects besides junk cars, but that fit in the same category. Harbors are particularly fruitful sources for that sort of thing, and I have done well in Victoria BC and Newport and Charleston, OR, among other places. I have also found many suitable subjects on and IN the street in my local area.
Reflections
- As part of my work on Rust, Rubbish, and Reflections I have assembled my favorite Reflection pictures in one place. A large percentage of them are made in harbors, particularly in Victoria BC and Iceland. I love to go fishing boat harbors to find them, since boats in ordinary marinas are usually white. Others are made in streams, puddles, windows, the sides of cars, and so on.
Pictorial
- Pictorial (sic) pictures are judged by their artistic quality, and any subject or process is acceptable. Often people will submit the best of their nature, travel, creative pictures as pictorial.
Point Lobos
- These are all images made at Point Lobos State Reserve just south of Carmel, California. I am collecting them here even though they are also shown in other albums, to show what can be done at Pt. Lobos
Creative
- "Creative photography is producing an image through the use of imaginative skill or originality of thought including the altering of reality. No image should be eliminated from consideration simply because it looks realistic, provided it shows originality of concept." Note: this does not require compter manipulation - unmanipulated images with unusual angles of view or subject selection often win.
Travel
- "A travel picture must express the feeling of a time and place, portray a land, its people, or a culture in its natural state, and has no geographic limitations." This may seem clear, but different judges interpret it quite differently.
Nature
- "The Nature Photography Division is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict observations from all branches of natural history, except anthropology and archaeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person will be able to identify the subject matter and certify as to its honest presentation.
Colorado Plateau
- In October, 2004 my friend Dan Katzman and I went to the Colorado Plateau, primarily in the Paria Wilderness and the Escalante area, and stopped at Bryce Canyon on the way home. These pictures are from that trip.
Photojournalism
- "Journalism entries shall consist of pictures with informative content and emotional impact, including human interest, documentary and spot news." .
